Jennifer Aniston is encouraging her fans to vote, but be “responsible” and ignore Kanye West’s struggling presidential campaign.
The Friends alum took to Instagram Friday to share a picture of herself placing a ballot in a drop box outside a library in West Hollywood, California.

She included a lengthy caption saying she voted early for the Democratic presidential ticket of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, because “this country is more divided than ever.”
“Our current president has decided that racism is a non-issue. He has repeatedly and publicly ignored science… too many people have died,” Aniston wrote.
Wearing a face mask and proudly holding up her ballot, she urged her followers to think about “our Black brothers and sisters,” and others when they fill out their ballots.
“I urge you to really consider who is going to be most affected by this election if we stay on the track we’re on right now… your daughters, the LGBTQ+ community, our Black brothers and sisters, the elderly with health conditions, and your future kids and grandkids (who will be tasked with saving a planet that our leadership refuses to believe is hurting),” she wrote.
The actress, who currently stars on the Apple TV+ series The Morning Show, ended her message by appealing to her followers to “vote for equal human rights, for love, and for decency.” But… ignore Kanye West.
“PS – It’s not funny to vote for Kanye,” she wrote. “I don’t know how else to say it. Please be responsible.”
West declared his bid for the White House in July, and said he is running as part of the “Birthday Party.”
Days later, the “Stronger” rapper admitted that he had just registered to vote for the first time in his life.
Then on July 19, the hip-hop mogul sparked concerns about his mental health during a rally in Charleston, South Carolina. While speaking to supporters, he disparaged Harriet Tubman, saying the abolitionist “never actually freed the slaves.” He also broke down and began to scream through tears while making personal statements about abortion and his family.
